Method

Put the sausages and hash browns on a baking tray and spray the sausages with Frylight. Cook in the oven for 18 minutes – turning once.

Meanwhile, place a large frying pan over a medium heat and spray with Frylight. Add the mushrooms whole to the pan and cook for 10-12 minutes until soft and juicy.

When the sausages are 6 minutes from being done, add the turkey rashers and tomato to the pan with the mushrooms – place the tomato cut side down. Cook for 5-6 minutes, turning the bacon half way through.

Meanwhile, place the beans in a small saucepan over a medium heat, and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Whisk up the eggs with the milk in a microwave proof bowl and cook in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring half way through, until the eggs are cooked and scrambled.

Serve everything on a warm plate and enjoy!

*Add a medium slice of toast and lighter spread for 100 cals.

Tip! To make this suitable for vegetarians, swap the turkey rashers for 2 Quorn bacon style rashers.

150g frozen peas

Mix the Cottage Pie Recipe Mix with 300ml cold water and add to the pan with the peas. Stir well and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the sweet potato. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until softened. Drain well and return to the warm pan. Add the low-fat spread and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the minced beef mixture into an ovenproof dish and top with the mashed sweet potato. Level out the top, then use a fork to score along the top to create texture, then sprinkle with the grated cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until crisp and golden.

Tip! It's easy to make this veggie-friendly Swap the minced beef for 300g Quorn Mince, double the quantities of carrots and peas, leave out the Colman's Cottage Pie Mix.
